No Victory Comes Without Sacrifice. Lucid has hit the streets. It's a new drug that allows its user the ability to sense and control other people's bodies... and things are about to get ugly. After traveling the world with the genetically-engineered members of The Designed, Raleigh returns home to the United States having found both her confidence and her ability to induce Lucid in others. A war is brewing, and with Designed on both sides, neither has the advantage. Out of options and in desperate need of allies, Raleigh and her friends are forced to side with Grant and Able, the pharmaceutical company responsible for creating The Designed in the first place. It's an uneasy alliance, complicated further by her reluctance to accept the corporate giant's vision for Lucid. Does this dangerous substance really have a place in the world? Do The Designed? Does she? With the final showdown looming, Raleigh must put these thoughts aside as she struggles to come to terms with her own growing powers and the very real possibility that she'll have to kill Sigma, the leader of the opposition. Is willing to compromise her morals in order to win the day and save her friends and family? Or will she falter when the decisive moment arrives?
